The Multiplicative Quantum Adversary
We present a new variant of the quantum adversary method. All adversary methods give lower bounds on the quantum query complexity of a function by bounding the change of a progres...

Negative weights make adversaries stronger
The quantum adversary method is one of the most successful techniques for proving lower bounds on quantum query complexity. It gives optimal lower bounds for many problems, has ap...

Lower Bounds for Randomized and Quantum Query Complexity Using Kolmogorov Arguments
We prove a very general lower bound technique for quantum and randomized query complexity, that is easy to prove as well as to apply. To achieve this, we introduce the use of Kolm...

Scalable Quantum Consensus for Crash Failures
We present a scalable quantum algorithm to solve binary consensus in a system of n crash-prone quantum processes. The algorithm works in O(polylog n) time sending O(n polylog n) qu...

Polynomial Degree vs. Quantum Query Complexity
The degree of a polynomial representing (or approximating) a function f is a lower bound for the quantum query complexity of f. This observation has been a source of many lower bo...
